The Rogue Prince of Persia confirmed to be getting new content in 2026

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a highly slick and satisfying 2D side-scrolling rogue-like metroidvania from Evil Empire – the current team working on the equally-as-excellent Dead Cells. Initially arriving in Early Access back in 2024, the game saw its full 1.0 release last August alongside a console launch for both Xbox and PlayStation – most recently landing on the Nintendo Switch just a few days ago. The Prince’s journey will continue however, with the team confirming that The Rogue Prince of Persia will be getting a suite of post-launch updates throughout 2026.

Making the announcement on their Steam page, the team at Evil Empire spoke properly for the first time since the game’s launch back in August, writing:

“It's been a while, but we're back and do we have an early Christmas gift for you! Well, we don't have it for you right now, but we can tell you about it at least! We'll be coming back next year with post-launch content as free updates for The Rogue Prince of Persia.”

Unfortunately, we did not get any further details regarding what these updates will entail. Considering the fact that they used the term ‘updates’ however, fans should expect more than just a single drop of new content.

In looking back at the game’s roadmap during its Early Access period, there are plenty of avenues in which the team can head in to expand the game. We could see new enemies; skills; medallions; skins and weapons among countless other additions.

Of course, we will have to wait until next year to learn more, but it is exciting nonetheless to see that The Rogue Prince of Persia still has more to offer.
